I have fully recovered from my recent attempt, physically speaking. I had an epiphany during this experience, that my life does matter, that I matter; but that feeling of inner strength blew out so quickly and too easily. I’m left here feeling hopeless and empty again, and that’s why I’m frustrated. I’m either feeling numb, sad, mildly euphoric, or feeling too energetic and irritable (mixed episode). Currently, I’m not suicidal, but I do feel self-destructive at least once a day, if not more often, and when those feelings and emotions become irritating or overwhelming, I turn to alcohol, again. All though, I’m feeling slightly proud of myself because I try my best to avoid self-harm, and haven’t harmed myself for at least 8 days, which is far from easy; but so far, I’m better able to fight against the urge to hurt myself. I’m not perfect, I do abuse alcohol, but not all day like before. So, this will be one of my rare posts; one that describes me in a better place in my head; it’s still a shity place in my head, but there has been some feeling of relief; most likely from the euphoria popping up at times when I need to feel happy the most. Anyways, this was just a random update. I don’t expect to stay this way, unfortunately; but that’s just how things are for me.

Some days I’m at about 17% sanity. Today its 87%. I’ll take it. 100% is way over rated anyway.
I can relate to a lot you posted here. Especially the mixed episodes. There are days I roll the die and it comes up “You’re Fucked”. String about five of those together and I’m gleefully deleting all my email accounts and artwork, all my SP posts and debating how much trouble I’ll get in with the family if I unfriend everyone on FB. I typically stop short of that because that would be a red flag to them and then I would have the Eye of Sauron on me. Nope do not want that…that EYE….
So I guess it is moving forward right? String a few good hours together, to a few days and keep rolling that die daily and hope it comes up “Rational Thinking” more days than “Totally Fucked”.
I completely agree. I often have days where the dice have said: “you’re fucked”. I’m sorry that you have to struggle through this too? It can be a frustrating/painful sensation when it seems like you instantly go from “life’s great” to “I hate life”. It’s easy to lose hope and become frustrated; but you are right. If I can somehow not forget the small moments of “good” and keep holding onto those moments and wind them together, then it would make this Hell seem less unbearable.
I can also relate to the amount of sanity I feel during these episodes. Right now, I’m around 15% sanity, and the rest of me is emotional/self-destructive insanity.
